ACTION NARRATIVE
1:43:44 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN called the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee
meeting to order at 1:43 p.m. Present at the call to order were
Senators Myers, Kiehl, Tobin, and Chair Claman.
SB 167-CRIM. CONV. OVERTURNED: RECEIVE PAST PFD
[CSSB 167(STA) was before the committee.]
1:44:18 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 167
"An Act relating to a permanent fund dividend for an individual
whose conviction has been vacated, reversed, or dismissed; and
relating to the calculation of the value of the permanent fund
dividend by including payment to individuals eligible for a
permanent fund dividend because of a conviction that has been
vacated, reversed, or dismissed."
CHAIR CLAMAN said this is the second hearing of SB 167 in the
Senate Judiciary Committee. The intention is to look to the will
of the committee to move the bill. He invited questions from
committee members.
1:44:47 PM
SENATOR MYERS referenced language the State Affairs Committee
inserted in the bill on page 1, line 12, which ensured "the
dismissal was not part of a plea agreement." He questioned
whether plea agreement ineligibility applies only to felony
convictions or also to misdemeanor convictions.
SENATOR MYERS stated that he wanted to ensure the language does
not allow individuals to plead down to a level that would make
them eligible for a PFD despite having other felony or
misdemeanor convictions, whichever applies. He asked staff to
elaborate on that issue.
1:46:13 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN directed the question to the director of the
Permanent Fund Division for the specifics of who is and is not
eligible.
1:46:42 PM
GENEVIEVE WOJTUSIK, Director, Permanent Fund Dividend Division,
Department of Revenue, Juneau, Alaska, cited AS 43.23.005(d),
Eligibility:
Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) (c) of this
section, an individual is not eligible for a permanent
fund dividend for a dividend year when
(1) during the qualifying year, the individual was
sentenced as a result of conviction in this state of a
felony;
(2) during all or part of the qualifying year, the
individual was incarcerated as a result of the
conviction in this state of a
(A) felony; or
(B) misdemeanor if the individual has been
convicted of
(i) a prior felony [as defined in AS
11.81.900;] or
(ii) two or more prior misdemeanors [as
defined in AS 11.81.900.]
1:47:28 PM
SENATOR MYERS asked whether an individual with a prior
conviction that made them ineligible could later become
eligible. For example, if that conviction were vacated as part
of a plea deal with reduced charges, provided the charges were
reduced enough for eligibility. He stated that the intent should
be to ensure that individuals whose convictions are vacated due
to findings of fact or trial error would be eligible to receive
PFDs, but not in cases where eligibility is restored through a
technicality.
1:48:29 PM
MS. WOJTUSIK deferred to the court system or Legislative Legal
Services.
1:48:38 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN directed the question to Ms. Meade.
1:48:53 PM
NANCY MEADE, General Counsel, Alaska Court System, Anchorage,
Alaska, replied that, as she interprets SB 167, an individual
incarcerated for a felony or a misdemeanor with priors is
ineligible. These individuals will only become eligible for and
covered under SB 167 if all charges are dismissed. No plea deal.
She explained that a reversed or vacated judgment that is later
resolved by a plea to a lesser charge in superior court would
not be eligible under SB 167 because the charges would not have
been fully dismissed.
MS. MEAD stated that SB 167 clarifies that dismissals made as
part of a plea agreement in another case would not qualify. She
explained that if a case is dismissed in exchange for a plea in
a separate matter, that dismissal would not meet the eligibility
criteria under SB 167. She stated that, as she reads between the
lines, the intent of the language appears to focus on situations
involving full dismissal of charges, rather than cases resolved
through plea agreements or reduced charges.
1:50:21 PM
SENATOR MYERS said that satisfies his concerns.
1:50:38 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN solicited the will of the committee.
1:50:41 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to report CSSB 167(STA), work order 34-
LS0491\N, from committee with individual recommendations and
attached fiscal note(s).
1:50:57 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN found no objection and CSSB 167(STA) was reported
from the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.
1:51:01 PM
At ease.
HB 35-PRISONERS: ELECTRONIC DEVICE ACCESS/USE
1:52:33 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN reconvened the meeting and announced the
consideration of CS FOR HOUSE BILL NO. 35(STA) "An Act relating
to the use and possession of electronic devices by prisoners."
CHAIR CLAMAN said that this is the second hearing of HB 35 in
the Senate Judiciary Committee. [SCS CSHB 35, version T, was
adopted on May 7, 2025.] The intent is to consider adoption of a
new Senate committee substitute (SCS), version O.
1:52:49 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN solicited a motion.
1:52:54 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to adopt the Senate committee substitute
(SCS) for CSHB 35, work order 34-LS0355\O, as the working
document.
1:53:09 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN objected for purposes of discussion. He invited his
staff to summarize the changes.
1:53:21 PM
BREANNA KAKARUK, Staff, Senator Matt Claman, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, presented the Explanation of
Changes for HB 35 from version T to version O.
[Original punctuation provided.]
Explanation of Changes
House Bill 35: Version T to Version O
Page 3, lines 16-18:
Delete: "or as a substitution for in-person
visitation, receiving mail, receiving medical
services, or other in-person communication"
Page 2, following line 21:
Insert new subsection to read: "(f) The
commissioner may not replace in-person visitation with
the use of a computer or electronic tablet. To the
extent practicable, the commissioner may not replace
an existing program or service provided to a prisoner
for the purpose of rehabilitation with the use of a
computer or electronic tablet authorized under
(a)(3)(I) of this section. A computer or electronic
tablet may be used only to supplement an existing
program or service."
Page 3, line 24:
Conforming changes.
1:54:28 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN removed his objection and SCS CSHB 35, version O,
was adopted as the working document.
CHAIR CLAMAN noted that the superintendent from Hiland Mountain
Correctional Facility and the deputy commissioner from the
Department of Corrections (DOC) were available to answer
questions. He invited committee members to ask questions.
1:55:10 PM
SENATOR TOBIN asked about internet literacy and raised concerns
about the vulnerability of incarcerated individuals to phishing,
identity theft, and other online risks. She asked what training
or protections would be in place to safeguard incarcerated
individuals using such devices.
1:56:07 PM
APRIL WILKERSON, Deputy Commissioner, Department of Corrections,
Juneau, Alaska, sought clarification, asking whether the
question concerned what DOC will do to prevent phishing and
identity theft for incarcerated individuals who will use the
tablets.
SENATOR TOBIN answered that is correct.
MS. WILKERSON responded that a third-party vendor is responsible
for the program's system structure and security. She explained
that the system operates on a closed network and is not wide
open to the Internet. She said security controls are in place to
flag and identify potential threats.
1:57:30 PM
SENATOR TOBIN asked whether the department has considered
digital or internet literacy training for incarcerated
individuals, noting that some individuals may not have prior
experience with such technology. She asked whether there would
be opportunities for individuals to develop those skills while
incarcerated.
MS. WILKERSON replied that the vendor supplying the tablets will
provide some training for DOC's security staff. The security
staff will, in turn, train the incarcerated population. She
noted that some individuals have declined to use the tablets,
but that participation may increase through exposure and
training. She deferred to Superintendent Jones for additional
information regarding the implementation of training within the
pilot program at Hiland Mountain.
1:58:58 PM
BRANDON JONES, Superintendent, Hiland Mountain Correctional
Facility, Eagle River, Alaska, replied that the department is
conducting a pilot program that includes educational programming
alongside tablet use within the facility. He explained that
approximately 15 incarcerated individuals are participating in
educational courses focused on leading to employment.
Educational programming includes computer skills literacy, with
support from education coordinators, so inmates learn skills and
build confidence in using technology both during incarceration
and after release.
MR. JONES stated that the facility also provides orientation for
individuals using tablets for the first time. He explained that
inmate workers, including librarians and law librarians, assist
in training others, and that orientation includes video
instruction, hands-on tutorials, and staff supervision to
support learning.
2:00:11 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN asked about language in the committee substitute,
specifically [Section 2,] subsection (f). The last sentence
states that "a computer or electronic tablet may be used only to
supplement an existing program or service." He asked how the
provision would apply to a new online-only program not
previously offered by DOC, and whether that would require
legislative action to amend the statute to allow new tablet-only
programs.
MS. WILKERSON replied that the department would defer to
policymakers and the Department of Law for clarification. She
expressed her understanding that the intent of the provision is
not to limit programming, but to identify efficiencies and
expand access to education and services. She noted that some
providers are transitioning to online-only platforms, and DOC
aims to ensure those opportunities are not lost. She said DOC
would work with the legislature to address situations where
tablets may be the only option.
2:02:19 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN held SCS CSHB 35, version 0, in committee.
SB 9-SURRENDER OF INFANTS; INF. SAFETY DEVICE
2:02:22 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 9
"An Act relating to the surrender of infants; and providing for
an effective date."
CHAIR CLAMAN said this is the third hearing of SB 9 in the
Senate Judiciary Committee. [The committee amended CSSB 9(HSS),
adopting Amendment 3 on April 11, 2025.] The intention is to
consider the adoption of committee substitute (CS), version T.
2:02:37 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN solicited a motion.
2:02:40 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to adopt the committee substitute (CS) for
SB 9, work order 34-LS0085\T, as the working document.
2:02:55 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN objected for purposes of discussion. He invited his
staff to present the summary of changes.
2:03:06 PM
BREANNA KAKARUK, Staff, Senator Matt Claman, Alaska State
Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, presented the Explanation of
Changes for SB 9 from version G to version T.
[Original punctuation provided.]
Explanation of Changes
Senate Bill 9: Version G to Version T
Page 2, line 15-17:
Removes the authority of the Commissioner of the
Department of Family [and Community Services] to
designate additional appropriate locations for an
infant safety device beyond the approved listed
designated facilities as requested by the department.
Page 4, lines 4-8:
Deletes assessment considerations for determining
whether to approve a proposed infant safety device and
adds the requirement that the infant safety device
must be installed, operated, and maintained according
to the manufacturer's guidelines and regulations that
are adopted by the Department.
Adds that the infant safety devices must be
inspected upon installation and annually by the
manufacturer or the manufacture's designee, and
inspected monthly by the designated facility that
installed the device. These inspections are required
to be logged by the designated facility and must
include the testing of the device's alarms, cameras,
climate control systems, and locks.
2:04:31 PM
SENATOR TOBIN referred to page 4, lines 4-7 of the proposed CS,
version T, asking whether there is an estimate of the cost
associated with installation and annual inspection requirements.
She asked who would be responsible for covering those costs or
whether the responsibility would fall to the entity utilizing
the boxes.
SENATOR MYERS, speaking as sponsor, replied that he consulted
with Department of Health (DOH) and local fire departments to
develop Section [4.] He stated that entities could roll monthly
inspections into existing equipment inspection routines without
additional cost. He explained that the devices would be treated
similarly to equipment such as fire extinguishers or automated
external defibrillators (AEDs), which already require periodic
inspection.
SENATOR MYERS stated that the manufacturer or designated party
would perform the required annual inspections, as with other
medical equipment, such as hospital beds. He added that DOH
would verify that the manufacturer or designated party completed
the inspections during its facility reviews but would not
conduct the equipment inspections itself.
2:06:20 PM
SENATOR TOBIN stated that while the inspection comparison to
fire extinguishers and automated external defibrillators (AEDs)
is helpful, the inspection requirements for a baby box would
likely be more involved. The inspection process for a baby box
would, hopefully, require more than checking a gauge. She
explained that, based on her experience, certain medical
equipment, such as mammography machines, require service
inspections that the facility using the equipment pays for.
SENATOR TOBIN stated that she would like more information
regarding the anticipated costs associated with installation and
maintenance, including who would ultimately bear those costs.
2:07:07 PM
SENATOR MYERS stated that a representative from Safe Haven Baby
Boxes, a primary manufacturer of the devices, is available to
provide a few more specifics. He noted that installing the
devices is voluntary, and anticipated private donations would
fund many of them. The facility, the manufacturer, and the
fundraising efforts would determine the cost. He explained that
there could be some limited cost to municipalities if fire
departments choose to participate, but participation is not
required.
SENATOR MYERS noted that some hospitals are municipally owned
while others are private or nonprofit entities, and any
associated costs would be incorporated into their operations.
2:08:06 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN expressed his perspective on the language in
paragraph (6) on page 4 of the proposed CS. He noted that the
requirement for inspections upon installation and annually by
the manufacturer or the manufacturer's designee suggests that
the manufacturer would bear the cost of those inspections. He
stated that the language does not indicate that another party
would assume the fiscal responsibility.
CHAIR CLAMAN said Mr. Kelsey from Safe Haven Baby Boxes was
available to provide testimony and answer questions. He invited
Mr. Kelsey to introduce himself, provide a brief statement, and
respond to questions.
2:09:11 PM
JOE KELSEY, Co-Founder and Senior Project Coordinator, Safe
Haven Baby Boxes, Woodburn, Indiana, stated that the program
includes an initial fee covering the manufacture of the baby
box, as well as training and testing for installation at the
designated location. The location is typically responsible for
contracting installation and connecting the system to an alarm
that communicates with the local dispatch center, such as a fire
station.
MR. KELSEY stated that the program includes an annual fee of
$500 in the Lower 48 states, which covers ongoing support for
the baby box program and an annual physical inspection conducted
by the organization.
MR. KELSEY stated that the program requires weekly testing by
the facility, including simulating placement of a baby in the
box to ensure the mechanics function properly and that the alarm
system notifies dispatch within the appropriate timeframe.
2:10:47 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN asked about the annual fee structure, noting that
costs in Alaska are typically higher due to travel expenses. He
asked how the annual fee might change for Alaska and whether the
organization had an estimate.
MR. KELSEY replied that the costs would likely be higher in
Alaska. The basis for pricing is travel-related expenses,
including airfare, lodging, transportation, and wages. He noted
that the organization does not seek to profit from the fee. He
explained that annual visits include inspections of the box to
ensure it does not require maintenance. The inspection also
includes reviewing logs to ensure the location is doing weekly
testing, answering questions, and providing supplies. He said
that his organization wants to ensure each location has the
tools it needs for the safe and successful surrender of a baby.
2:12:42 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN asked whether, in other states where baby boxes are
in use, inspections are conducted by locally based certified
individuals or by staff traveling from the organization's home
office.
MR. KELSEY responded that it is somebody from the home office.
CHAIR CLAMAN asked whether the organization ever uses a
contractor in another location or if all the inspections are
conducted by staff from the organization's home office.
MR. KELSEY replied that inspections are conducted by staff from
the organization's home office, though on rare occasions, local
contacts are used for troubleshooting. The organization aims to
respond to issues within 72 hours, either remotely or in person.
CHAIR CLAMAN asked whether the organization has boxes in Hawaii.
MR. KELSEY replied that the organization does not have any in
Hawaii. He stated that the farthest locations from its base in
Indiana are Arizona and Idaho.
2:14:16 PM
SENATOR TOBIN asked which regulatory body, if any, oversees or
approves Safe Haven Baby Boxes. She referenced comparative
equipment, such as fire extinguishers regulated by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and medical
beds regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
MR. KELSEY responded that the organization received a
determination from the FDA that the baby box is not a medical
device and is therefore not regulated as one. He stated that
although the box contains medical components, such as a medical
bassinet with UL-listed parts, no government agency regulates
it. He said a safety inspection was conducted on the box, and
that provided recommendations.
2:15:38 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN invited the bill sponsor to make closing comments.
SENATOR MYERS expressed appreciation to the committee for taking
the time to hear SB 9. He also thanked the Department of Health
and the Department of Family and Community Services for their
assistance in developing the legislation, stating that their
input helped balance safety considerations while maintaining a
zero fiscal note.
2:16:11 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN stated that, based on Mr. Kelsey's testimony, the
cost of inspections conducted by the manufacturer would likely
exceed $500 in Alaska and raised the question about who would
bear those costs.
SENATOR MYERS responded that such costs would be known in
advance to any facility choosing to install the devices and
could be planned accordingly. He acknowledged concerns about
future costs and reiterated that it is important to make the
baby box option available.
2:17:05 PM
[The objection to adopting CSSB 9, version T, as the working
document was implicitly dropped and it was adopted.]
CHAIR CLAMAN solicited the will of the committee.
2:17:07 PM
SENATOR KIEHL moved to report CSSB 9, work order 34-LS0085\T,
from committee with individual recommendations and any
accompanying fiscal note(s).
2:17:26 PM
CHAIR CLAMAN found no objection and CSSB 9(JUD) was reported
from the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee.
2:17:49 PM
There being no further business to come before the committee,
Chair Claman adjourned the Senate Judiciary Standing Committee
meeting at 2:17 p.m.
